Category:Regency films
This seems to be a much too narrow category (and in a prior vote, a similar category was deleted (see Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Category:Jerry Bruckheimer films). — UDScott 18:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. ~ UDScott 18:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not useful for our purposes. BD2412 T 20:13, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Jerry Bruckheimer films is just a vehicle for Jerry Bruckheimer. A better comparison to Regency Films is Category:20th Century Fox films.--Ole.Holm 21:26, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would also recommend deleting that category as well - what purpose do these serve? ~ UDScott 14:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm missing something here. There's a whole supercategory Category:Films by studio with 16 members.  (The supercategory was created by Ningauble, who moved the VfD on Jerry Bruckheimer!)  Are you proposing a mass VfD of all of them?  And what about films by country?  In the Jerry Bruckheimer case it was argued that "Movie quotes are not attributable to production management personnel".  Nor are they attributable to a country; an American film may be written by a British scriptwriter for example.--Ole.Holm 21:05, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I created Category:Films by studio when I was consolidating miscellaneous stuff in Category:Films, uncategorized pages, and the like. It is not necessarily an endorsement. Sometimes I put things in a category for the same reason one rakes leaves into a pile: to burn them (or haul them off for compost, as the case may be). ~ Ningauble 19:36, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: While I would support the deletion of all the Category:Films by studio categories, I do think that classifying films by their country of origin is helpful. ~ UDScott 13:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm not proposing the deletion of country of origin. I'm saying that the argument that "Movie quotes are not attributable to production management personnel" could equally be used to support that deletion.  I think that MGM musicals are sufficiently recognisable to make it worth distinguishing them from those of other studios, and that Disney films have their own unique identity.--Ole.Holm 20:03, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete No requirement. Pmlineditor    ∞    16:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Pointless, spam, no notable or memorial quotes, poorly written and fails manuel of style.(StarWarsFanBoy 21:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC))
 * Comment: This is a category, not an article.--Ole.Holm 21:37, 18 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, and consider doing away with all of Category:Films by studio as well. At one time I categorized some films this way, selectively, when I thought the studio's works had a distinctive character. I later stopped when I decided that it was about as useful as Category:Literary works by publisher – just not relevant for quotations. ~ Ningauble 19:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
